NFL Mock Draft: Eagles-Only 1.0

We are right in the midst of Draft season and the Philadelphia Eagles are set up with a total of seven picks, three of which come in the first two rounds. With a lot of players departing via Free Agency and other key players getting up there in age, it’s essential that the Eagles nail these picks right on the head.

Below is an Eagles-Only mock draft done by myself and fellow writer, Sean Brennan. This is the first of three that we will complete before the 2019 NFL Draft which takes place on April 25th. These picks were determined by a combination of both Philadelphia’s roster needs and the projected best players available at each pick.

The Eagles have been linked to Adderley since November. Despite the recent signing of Sendejo, Adderley may be the best player available at this slot and depth never hurts in the secondary.

Round 2 (#53)
Jordan – Chauncey Garnder-Johnson S FloridaDepth at the Safety position was a concern entering this offseason. CGJ has some very polished cover skills that could prove to be valuable if Jenkins, McLeod or etc. go down.

Sean – Dalton Risner OL Kansas St.
The Eagles need to start thinking about the future as Jason Peters and company aren’t getting any younger. Risner’s ability to play multiple positions along the line is essential.

Round 2 (#57)Jordan – David Montgomery RB Iowa St.It’s no mystery that the Eagles need to revamp their run game. Montgomery is one of the few backs in this Draft class that could be considered an every down back.

Sean – Deebo Samuel WR South Carolina
The Eagles could continue to build their WR depth with this selection. Samuel is lightning fast and could learn from a veteran like DeSean Jackson.

Round 4 (#127)
Jordan – Tytus Howard LT Alabama St.Some insurance for Jason Peters and a potential replacement down the road. Howard has all of the tools and with improvement on his technique could become Carson’s future bodyguard.
